Interesting race....
I usually don't post my races, mostly because I don't race much. But last night I had two cool races, one with a stock 02GT and the other with a GTP! I have never given a GTP a second thought before, but they deserve some respect! I had just finished racing the 02GT and pulled a U-turn to drive home. I was just crusing when I see this GTP gaining on me like crazy. So I down shift and I nail it after he passes me at like 40+ over the limit. Needless to say I had a hard time catching him. Finally we get a clearing and he guns it before I have a chance to and I have to play catch up again, this time it was alot easier to catch him. He is thinking he was the winner. After i contest, he has us pull on to a private road to go from a stop.
We race twice, both times I abslutely killed him by over 10 cars and I shut down in 3rd! His GTP was absolutely stock, but man I thought I was in trouble when having to play catch up. If I raced the 02 GT and the GTP at the same time, the 02GT would have beat the GTP from a stop. i have no clue why I had such a hard time playing catch up. hmmm

good kills
I have a friend w/ a gtp they are not so good off the line (too heavy and not alot of torque) but on the freeway w/ the sc wound up and relying on hp more they are preety fast . I raced him in my 00 durango and I got 2 or 3 cars on him before 45 , 50 mph then he walked away from me (far away).

I drag raced a GTP a year ago and he got beat by about two car lengths before I shut down at 70. And this was without my full exhaust and pullies.
I raced another one at the track last March and I got my *** handed to me. He ran a 13.6. I don't know what he had in it but his supercharger was SCREAMIN in the burnout box. It looked stock.

Yea last time to the track i was parked next to a big GTP meet, about 8 of them from austin, i checked some of them out, the SC's look cool, one guy i talked to said he was running 13.8, and that his friend had a 12 sec one, none of them wanted to run me though, they looked down at my tires and said id kill them off the line, which i would have badly done good kills....
